"The Christianity of history is not Protestantism. If ever there were a safe truth it is this, and Protestantism has ever felt it so; to be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant." (-John Henry Newman, An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine).

"Where the bishop is, there let the people gather; just as where ever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church".-St. Ignatius of Antioch (ca 110 AD)a martyr later thrown to the lions, wrote to a church in Asia Minor. Antioch was also where the term "Christian" was first used.

“But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.” 1 Timothy 3:15

"This is the sole Church of Christ, which in the Creed we profess to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic." -CCC 811

The First Church will Apostatize: Where was it prophesied in the Bible?

Please examine that there is a prophecy that the first Church of Christ will be Apostatized,

Good Lord! I am surprised a man coming from the land of the “civilization” (NY, USA- unless he’s just there in New York, Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines) is exposing his tremendous ignorance about biblical prophesies and history.

Sorry for our “inability” to “examine” that “prophesy” in the Bible.

Please be so kind to SHOW US that SINGLE VERSE from the BIBLE which says the CHURCH will TOTALLY APOSTATIZE. Then I can concede!

Just ONE SINGLE VERSE is enough then I will completely renounce my Catholic belief and join Manalo’s Iglesia ni Cristo.

In fact your own OFFICIAL PASUGO confirmed that the FIRST CHURCH never apostatized.

From 47 A.D to 321 A.D. those years, there has been NO MENTION of other churches but a CHURCH or the CATHOLIC CHURCH. At times the this CHURCH is being referred as “Church of God” .

So right after the death of the Apostles, members of the TRUE CHURCH of CHRIST who were CATHOLICS were persecuted and condemned to death. Many of them were fed to hungry lions and tortured the way Jesus was crucified on the cross.

So if you are trying to associate your REGISTERED church to the FIRST CENTURY CHURCH, please stop fooling yourselves because many people are reading your assertions and it seriously reflect the kind of teachings they taught you in Manalo’s church.

All who did not believe with those false prophets have been tortured to death. Hence what the Catholic Church did to some famous people like Galileo,

Wrong again!

NOT ALL!

Below is a list of strongly anti-Catholic bigots who turned history upside down into religious warfare.

James Armunus and his brothers died a NATURAL DEATH in 1609 A.D.

Theodore Bucer (Butcer) died a NATURAL DEATH in 1551 A.D.

Heinrich Bullinger died a NATURAL DEATH in 1575 A.D.

John Calvin died a NATURAL DEATH in 1564 A.D.

Desiderius Erasmus died a NATURAL DEATH in 1536 A.D.

George Fox died a NATURAL DEATH in 1591 A.D.

John Knox died a NATURAL DEATH in 1572 A.D.

Martin Luther died a NATURAL DEATH in 1546 A.D.

Philip Melanchthon died a NATURAL DEATH in 1560 A.D.

Meno Simons died a NATURAL DEATH in 1561 A.D.

Philip Jakob Spener died a NATURAL DEATH in 1705 A.D.

Ulrich Zwingli was killed in a battle 1531 A.D.

(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_Reformation)

For Galileo he DIED a NATURAL DEATH due to high fever in 1642 A.D. And he remained a Catholic until death. The CHURCH has nothing to do with his death.

…the 3 Filipino priests (GOMBURZA), Jose Rizal and the people that was called the "insidioso" because they fight the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church...

Who taught you that GARBAGE story? Have you got any proper sense of searching the real issue behind their deaths?

FYI, Frs. GomBurZa were executed in 1872 A.D. by the Spanish Colonial Authorities and the CHURCH has nothing to do with their execution. Similarly Jose Rizal died through a brutal execution by the Spanish Colonial Authorities in 1898. The CHURCH has nothing to do with his death.

In fact, among his best friends who were there with him before Rizal’s execution were priests and his relative Fr. Marciano Guzman. Witnesses saw him kissed the cross before leading him to be executed in Bagumbayan (Luneta).

For the information of all ignorant INC members, GomBurZa and Dr. JOSE RIZAL were NEVER ANTI-CATHOLICS.

They DID NOT attack the TEACHINGS of the CHURCH. Rather they CONDEMNED the WRONGDOINGS of some PRELATES during their times!

And since the TRUTH was held from you, you should turn back to your PAID ministers and ask them why they need to LIE just to assert their SELF PROCLAIMED TRUTH.

Your paid ministers’ gross dishonesty is extremely despicable.

So I won’t be surprised if your iglesia will come up with the story blaiming the CHURCH for the death of Felix Manalo and Eraño Manalo.

Now, God created these "LAST DAYS" to bring up the true church, to be RESTORED on it's original teachings... and bring to it's Salvation that is truly near to come...

God bless this site that can enlighten men with the truth... Giving chance to us to search for our real freedom and reach our salvation...

God DID NOT create the “Last Days”. It was PART of his SALVIFIC PLANS that on the last days there would be coming FALSE PROPHETS and FALSE ANGELS and FALSE MESSENGERS USING the name of JESUS.

Hi. I'm Josh Banate. Great post! Thank you for defending our Church. INC? They're the real anti-Christ! I-glesia N-i anti-C-risto! They said, in order to be saved, you must be baptized in INC. Do these foolish ignorants know that their founder, Felix Manalo, was not even baptized as an INC? If there is someone who will go to hell, then it is their leader!http://knowthecatholictruth.blogspot.com/

Defending the Church

266th Pope of the Church

PRAYER FOR POPE FRANCIS

Lord, source of eternal life and truth,You have looked with mercy upon your servant Francis and called him to follow you.

Give him a spirit of courage and right judgement, and a spirit of knowledge and love.

By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the apostle Peter, Servant of the Servants of God, Bishop of Rome, son of Ignatius of Loyola and disciple of Francis of Assisi, build Your church into a sacrament of unity, love, mercy and peace for all the world.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

About the BIBLE

"As Catholics were responsible for writing the New Testament (under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit), the Catholic Church doesn't "interpret" the Bible. We explain it. Protestants can only "interpret", because they are not the author (guided by the Holy Spirit), and therefore, can only guess at the possible meaning of a chapter, passage or phrase, just as anyone can only guess at any author's intentions in any other book. As the author, the Catholic Church is the only proper authority to consult in matters pertaining to the Bible." -Catholic Truth

The Original Names of the 12 Apostles

It’s one of those first things that you memorize in 2nd grade or in religious education: the names of the 12 Apostles of Jesus. We’ve all heard their names in Scripture and in prayers countless times. Also, they are probably some of the most commonly given names in the world! But Jesus would not have called them John or Thomas or Andrew or Peter, etc… those are all Anglicized version of the names of the Apostles. The English language didn't even exist at the time of the Apostles!

So what would their names have sounded like when spoken by Our Lord and what did those names mean? Here are the original forms of the names of the 12 Apostles and their meanings:

Peter The name Peter is derived, via Latin "petra", from the Greek word πέτρος (petros) meaning "stone" or "rock". According to the New Testament, Jesus gave Saint Peter (whose given name was Simon) the name Kephas or Cephas meaning "stone" in Aramaic.

Andrew English form of the Greek name Ανδρεας (Andreas), which was derived from ανδρειος (andreios) "manly, masculine", a derivative of ανηρ (aner) "man".

James the Greater & James The Lesser English form of the Late Latin name Iacomus which was derived from Ιακωβος (Iakobos), the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew name Ya'aqov. The name comes from the Old Testament figure, Jacob (later called Israel) who was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name is explained as meaning "holder of the heel" or "supplanter", because he twice deprived his brother of his rights as the firstborn son (see Genesis 27:36).

John English form of Iohannes, the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious".

Philip From the Greek name Φιλιππος (Philippos) which means "friend of horses", composed of the elements φιλος (philos) "friend, lover" and ‘ιππος(hippos) "horse"

Bartholomew From Βαρθολομαιος (Bartholomaios), which was the Greek form of an Aramaic name meaning "son of TALMAI".

Matthew English form of Ματθαιος (Matthaios), which was a Greek form of the Hebrew name מַתִּתְיָהוּ (Mattityahu) meaning "gift of YAHWEH".

Thomas Greek form of the Aramaic name תָּאוֹמָא (Ta'oma') which meant "twin". (Apparently Thomas looked very much like Our Lord).

Jude (Thaddeus) & Judas Iscariot From the Hebrew יְהוּדָה (Yehudah) which meant "praised". From Ιουδας (Ioudas), the Greek form of JUDAH.

Simon The Zealot From Σιμων (Simon), the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew name שִׁמְעוֹן (Shim'on) which meant "he has heard". This name is spelled Simeon, based on Greek Συμεων, in many translations of the Old Testament
